Binance returns to Iran sanctions scrutiny after its $4.3 billion U.S. pleaThe Justice Department is reportedly probing Iran’s use of Binance to evade sanctions, pulling the world’s largest crypto exchange back into a national security case less than three years after it pleaded guilty in the U.S. and agreed to a resolution worth more than $4.3 billion.The clearest fact at the outset is the contradiction. Binance already admitted to sanctions and anti-money-laundering failures in 2023.It accepted penalties, a monitor, and years of U.S. oversight. Now prosecutors are reportedly examining alleged Iran-linked activity that earlier Wall Street Journal reporting said Binance’s…
QCP sees Bitcoin as a ‘stress barometer’ amid macro, geopolitical risks. BTC continues to eye $70,000 as support, with gains key to upside continuation. Breakdown risks BTC retesting $63k lows, where prior dip-buying emerged. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show resilience near the critical $70,000 level after today’s US CPI data. The bellwether digital asset had traded slightly off this mark earlier in the day. According to analysts at Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital, Bitcoin’s uptick from lows of $63,000 suggests stabilisation. However, the continued fluctuation around the $70k mark signals that the market is yet to return to full risk-on…
An Oil Scare Near Hormuz Showed How Fast Bitcoin Reverts to a Risk TradeWhile Bitcoin has rebounded and held above $70,000 over the last 48 hours, the acute phase of the latest oil shock showed the market’s first instinct: sell crypto when inflation fear rises, and the path to easier money gets harder.Still, why does the price of oil even matter for Bitcoin? Few Bitcoin miners use oil to power machines, so shouldn’t Bitcoin be detached from energy volatility?Well, on March 9, Bitcoin fell to a seven-day low as Brent crude surged and traders cut exposure across risk assets.You see,…
Kalshi’s first move outside the United States is not London, not Singapore, not any of the financial centers that have spent years building crypto-friendly regulatory frameworks.It is Brazil, through XP International and its brokerage arm, Clear, offering prediction markets to Brazilian investors as a “new asset class” anchored at launch to economic events such as inflation prints and interest rate decisions.The company frames the product as a federally regulated derivative rather than a bet.Brazil’s government frames what it is already dealing with as a public health emergency.Both things can be true. The tension between them is the story.What Kalshi and…

Internet Computer price jumped 12% to near $3 during Asian trading hours. The ICP token hit the intraday highs amid news of listing support by Upbit. If ICP breaks above $3, it could retest highs of $4.55. The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) token rose sharply early Wednesday, trading to $2.94 amid a two-fold spike in daily trading volume. While the uptick comes amid a slight resurgence in broader cryptocurrency market volatility, what else might have catalysed ICP’s gains? As of writing on March 11, 2026, the token’s price hovered around $2.76, and the key question is whether bulls can extend…
Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Thom Tillis are co-leading negotiations on a stablecoin yield compromise, targeting a late-March Senate Banking Committee markup of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act after a January postponement. The proposed framework would permit activity-linked rewards while prohibiting interest on idle stablecoin balances. The American Bankers Association formally rejected an earlier White House compromise on March 5, and Coinbase has withdrawn support for the bill over yield restrictions, leaving both sides short of agreement with a narrowing legislative window. Senator Angela Alsobrooks said lawmakers are working toward a compromise on US stablecoin rules, with negotiations focused on…
Washington sent two messages about crypto privacy in the same week.Treasury told Congress that lawful users of digital assets may leverage mixers to protect personal wealth, business payments, charitable donations, and consumer spending habits from public view on transparent blockchains.Days later, SDNY prosecutors filed a letter proposing to retry Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm in October 2026 on the two counts where jurors deadlocked last August: conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to violate sanctions. Each count carries a maximum of 20 years.The policy thaw is real. It may just stop where privacy tools begin.For retail investors, what matters…
XRP may have completed a long correction and formed a market bottom. Analysts say the current setup mirrors the pattern before the 2017 rally. A Wave-5 breakout could drive XRP toward the $5.85 target. XRP has spent the past several months moving through a slow and frustrating consolidation phase that many traders now believe may represent the final stage of its correction. The digital asset is currently trading around $1.38 after a period of mixed performance that has seen short bursts of strength followed by pullbacks. This kind of sideways movement often appears near the end of a market correction,…
